there is not a lot letter want to bar from france and switzerland. but as a percentage of their economy, they're spending six whole points lower than ours on health care. one of the reasons for that is that they require people to participate with co insurance, as i describe it. if you go to a hospital in france for elective surgery, you are responsible for 20% of the bill. if that is the case, you probably will check around at different hospitals. in our country, if you go to get a knee replacement, there is no reason to check around to different hospitals. you have a thousand dollars deductible. that is what will pay. everything else is free. if the hospital changes -- if it hospital charges $20,000 or $40,000, it makes no difference to you. but people would health savings accounts, that would provide incentives, like coinsurance. i think those kinds of ideas we can bothereborrow from other co. thank you. i will take one more. yes, sir. >> [unintelligible] >> if i go back to lowering costs -- not having states with an open check book on medicaid, th

take out oil exports, this entire region of over 400 million people exports roughly the same amount as switzerland. so we will work with the eu to facilitate more trade within the region, build on existing agreements to promote integration with u.s.and european markets, and open the door for those countries who adopt high standards of reform and trade liberalization to construct a regional trade arrangement. and just as eu membership served as an incentive for reform in europe, so should the vision of a modern and prosperous economy create a powerful force for reform in the middle east and north africa. prosperity also requires tearing down walls that stand in the way of progress -- the corruption of elites who steal from their people, the red tape that stops an idea from becoming a business, the patronage that distributes wealth based on tribe or sect. we will help governments meet international obligations, and invest efforts at anti- corruption -- by working with parliamentarians who are developing reforms, and activists who use technology to increase transparency and hold government accountabl
